Hi there, I have an annoying problem with my printer. Everytime I boot the computer it'll go a little crazy and start printing. Not a whole page - about 1/4th. Then It'll print just a little bit every 10 seconds. It'll print the whole title of, let's say, a letter at once and then it'll slow down to that ultraslow pace of a little bit of activity every 10 secs. I tried reconfiguring the sucker but to no avail. When I turn it off and then on again, it'll do something even crazier: it'll start printing the same damn header over and over (on a fresh A4 every time, not on the sae one) and it'll also print some weird signs. After a few turns it'll slow down again to a little activity every 10 seconds again. I'm at loss here! The printer performs perfectly under win98, BTW. -- Yatsen Ng yatsen.ng@brunel.nl Den Haag, The Netherlands It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".

looks like your spooler is playing tricks. The spool system *makes sure* that it gets the stuff printed. when the job's printed, it's removed from the queue. This survives even reboots. Make sure to delete all existing jobs. (lprm -P<printer> <job number>). After that it's time to rethink about the slowlyness... Juergen
